1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: How big is this game? I mean, is this one

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't really need.

3
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 2: Much the production, does it?

4
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean for sure, just at this point the season,

5
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: they're all huge. And then given division opponent, obviously the

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: records of you know, both of our teams. I think

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: all that the point of the season that we're in,

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: you know, the opportunities are getting less and less every week.

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: So I think just where we're at our season, it's

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: a big game. They're all important though, all the games

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: are important to get to this point, you know, to

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: put ourselves in position. So but yeah, definitely big games.

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: Fans the hopeful advantage out on the game.

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: It's going to be huge. You know. I'm excited just

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: to see the atmosphere obviously later in the season, just

16
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: with where we're at, and you know, our crowds have

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: been awesome all year and every time we're in these

18
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: these games, these big games, whether their prime time, later

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: in the season, big games, whatever it is, division games,

20
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, our fans always show up. So I expect

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: no different, but really excited to you know, feel the

22
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: energy and just see a pack stadium stands.

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: Out when you watch the coolest defensively, it's.

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: A really good defense. You know, I think really good

25
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: players for one obviously, but also the way they're coach,

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: their scheme, the things that they do that I think

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: they make it hard on offenses, whether it's identification and

28
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: some of their pressures that they bring. They change the

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: look for quarterbacks a lot. They do a good job disguising.

30
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned the pressures already. You know, they do a

31
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of different things to try to keep you off balanced.

32
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I think they have really good plans going into each game.

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: So a lot of respect for you know, Lou their

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and obviously all the guys that are playing

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: out there. To the players, they're really good players and

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: flying around. They're doing a lot of really good things

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: right now and they're having a great year, so it'll

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: be a good challenge for us.

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: Ryan the other day Brian Thomas Junior weren't like that's

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: necessarily like exceptional or anything, but when you went to him,

41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: he was reliable, made the plays and he seemed like

42
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: he was very physical blocking. What showed up when you

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: reviewed the film with vt J.

44
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just like you said, it was obviously

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: he's he's been out for a little bit and having

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: him back was awesome. I think just for our team,

47
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: our offense opening some things up, and for him just

48
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: to be back out there with us was great. And

49
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: when he did get his opportunities, he made the most

50
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: of him, like you said, and you know that's every

51
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: week's gonna be a little bit different. I expect him

52
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: to get more and more opportunities. The type of player

53
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: he is, it's just it's gonna happen. So not too

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: fixated on that, but I thought the way he played,

55
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, making plays when he did get his opportunities.

56
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: But blocking, I mean he blocked really well. Run game

57
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: pass game, had the huge block for Jacobe down the field.

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean just seeing stuff like that, especially a guy

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: that's been out last few weeks with an injury and

60
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: then coming back and he's still physical wanting to go

61
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: block for his teammates. I mean that just says a

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: lot about our team, our offense, guys fighting for each

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: other and just the unselfishness is really cool. So excited

64
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: for him to be, you know, more and more involved

65
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: as we go, and I know he's gonna make a

66
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: ton of plays for us. You guys have been one.

67
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 3: Of the top red zone offices in the league since

68
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: I think week nine. Just what is sort of gard

69
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: into that execution down there, and what do you think

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: has gone into it?

71
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: H you know, I'd have to go back and watch all.

72
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if there's one thing specifically.

73
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: I think we've just been I think we've just been

74
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: been playing better offensively since about that point, to be honest,

75
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: So all year, I think we've gotten better every week.

76
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: And you know it's not always straight up every week,

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: but we've had a little couple bumps in the road.

78
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: But I think offensively we've just gotten better every week.

79
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: So more efficient, better on first and second down, less

80
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: long you know, third and long situations, and I think,

81
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, throwing the ball in the red zone specifically,

82
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: we've been a lot better.

83
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: It can be challenging in the red zone to come

84
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: up with different plays and whatever. It maybe just because

85
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: of how crunch is, how has Liam sort of made

86
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: that easier for you guys as an offense just since

87
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: he's gotten here.

88
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: We do a really good job game plan and you know,

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: different defenses they have certain things they like to do

90
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and you know, it's all you

91
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: never know exactly what you're gonna get you have a

92
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: pretty good idea for the most part. You know, teams

93
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: have what they want to do and what they do well,

94
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: and so you have a good idea and then you

95
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: go into it with a plan. And I think our

96
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: ability to get to a lot of different plays at

97
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: different times, have multiple plays on and to be in

98
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: the right look, I think that's helped us and we've

99
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: gotten better at better better and better at executing it.

100
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: So I think you're seeing that. You know, we're being

101
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: more efficient down there. And then I think now a

102
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: lot of teams are playing a lot more shell in

103
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: the red zone. It's just how it's gone, you know,

104
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: trying to stop the pass, and I think there's some

105
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: opportunities to run the ball, and you know, when we've

106
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: had our opportunities to do that, we've done a good

107
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: job of that too.

108
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: And described the Quinn's personality.

109
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: On the field, Oh yeah, he's he's one of a kind.

110
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I love that guy. I mean, you probably

111
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: don't want to be on the other team, but as

112
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: far as being on our team, love that guy. So

113
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: it's just the way he takes so much pride in

114
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: all the little things. I think that's what's cool is

115
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: you know everybody, everybody wants the ball, Like if you're

116
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: a skill guy spitched on offense, all these guys want

117
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the ball. And I'm sure you know he wants the

118
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: ball every play too, But his mindset of affecting and

119
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: impacting the game when he doesn't have the ball has

120
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: been I mean, I don't know if I've played with

121
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: a guy like him, to be honest, just the amount

122
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: of pride he takes in blocking, putting his body on

123
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: the line for his teammates, for whatever it is. He

124
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: doesn't care. Whatever he's asked to do, he's happy to

125
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: do it and excited, and he brings an edge. I mean,

126
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: he's really a special player and it's been fun to

127
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: be with him. It's been fun to be on the

128
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: same silent ASTHM. I'm sure with other guys, not not

129
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: as much that we're playing against.

130
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: You were pulling him away from Simmons. Is that to

131
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: save him from Simmons or Simmons.

132
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of both. Uh, he's got Jeffrey

133
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: had the size on him. But LeQuinn is the guy

134
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: that I don't you don't want to mess with, But no,

135
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't want him to get thrown out of

136
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: the game or anything, and don't want to they want

137
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: to take any chances there. I was like, hey, we

138
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: gotta got a lot of ball left. You just gotta

139
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: let's just be smart.

140
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: Every offense on to step up at some point this

141
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: year was saying about kind of that unit.

142
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: How they played his fight on.

143
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: With the pieces. Yeah, it's been awesome. I think just

144
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: how g have prepared every week and have been ready

145
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, there's no greater tests than that

146
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: is if you're ready player, not get out there and

147
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: you got to go play the rest of the games.

148
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: We got guys hurt, and we've had a lot of that,

149
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: and guys have played really well in different spots. Obviously

150
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Cole's been highlighted, but you know, Chumas stepped up, why

151
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: Ittt stepped up. We've had a lot of guys that

152
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: have had to do that, not quite the level that

153
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: I guess Cole's had to because it's been multiple different

154
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: positions in full games he's had to play. But all

155
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: the guys have been ready to do it when there

156
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: when their numbers been called. So it's impressive. I think

157
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: just the depth we have on the line is such

158
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: a weapon for us and guys being able to move

159
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: around because it's hard to go a whole season. It's

160
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: pretty much impossible whole season without anybody getting hurt. So

161
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: it's been cool for those guys to be able to,

162
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, switch in and out and play really well.

163
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: It's been amazing the chemistry you and Jacobe have built

164
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: so quickly. Are there still levels that you guys have

165
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: to get to or is he now at a point

166
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: where he pretty much can do whatever his ass?

167
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I have all the faith in the

168
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: world and him. I think the big thing is he's

169
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: still he's still new to our system and to I

170
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: mean everybody. He's comfortable with all the guys, but he's

171
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: new to the system, and I think there is part

172
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: of that of for him. I know, every week he

173
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: learns more and more, and I think it gets more comfortable,

174
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: just because, you know, the first couple of weeks, it's

175
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: almost like you're just memorizing the plan and what he

176
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: has to do, and he did a great job of that.

177
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: But now he's actually been able to learn the reasoning

178
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: behind a bunch of different things and why we're doing it.

179
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Because he's a really smart guy that picks up on that,

180
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: and that's only going to make him play even faster,

181
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: just because he's it's not so much thinking about what

182
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: he has to do. He just knows it and it

183
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: comes more second nature. So I think that's gonna happen

184
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, and I'm excited more for him,

185
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: And obviously we're helping him out and whenever I can,

186
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: when need be. I mean, he's he doesn't really make

187
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: many mistakes. He does a good job. But I think

188
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: that's the exciting part is that's just going to continue

189
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: to grow as he's here longer and we keep communicating

190
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: and I mean we've put him in a lot of

191
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: different positions, ask him to do a lot, and there

192
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been anything he hasn't been able to handle. So

193
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: going to keep building on it.

194
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: Do you guys consciously ignore the streak over the Colts

195
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: here this week?

196
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Is that just like an apposistory, you guys to not

197
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: pay attention to that at all?

198
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's just it's a new year.

199
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, who knows in their building what

200
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: they're they might be using that as fuel. I'm sure

201
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: they are, and for us. It's a new year, though.

202
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: We can't hang our hats on something that this team

203
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: hasn't done. You know, we haven't beat this this Jackson

204
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: hasn't beat this Colts team here at home in twenty

205
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: twenty five. So we we have a big game in

206
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: front of us and know they're gonna be ready. They're

207
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to roll, and so will we. But yeah,

208
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: it's you know, you can't really rely on the past.

209
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: You gotta go do it this year.

210
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: Is your mindset different?

211
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: Plus a year in this season when.

212
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: Your guys are strolling a playoff punt as opposed to

213
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: playing games late in the seasons and the team's struggling

214
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: and playoffs aren't realistic anymore.

215
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just the team is. I mean, I

216
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: feel like you hate to say it, but it's just true.

217
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: It's just the excitement around the team and the energy

218
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: is just different when you have when you're in the

219
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: hunt and you gotta you're playing for the playoffs and

220
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: the postseason. Obviously, when you're not, you bring everything you

221
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: can every day, but the feeling around the team of

222
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: just we know that the biggest games are still coming

223
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: up for us and that we're playing for a lot,

224
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: and that's that's why you play, and that's and that's

225
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: what makes it fun being in this position. So I mean, yeah,

226
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: it is. It is different. I'd be lying if I

227
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: said it wasn't. So it's exciting, all right, thank you,
